Peru declared North Korea's ambassador to Lima Kim Hak Chol a persona non grata and ordered him to leave the country within five days. This is on Monday, September 11, according to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru. As noted, the decision was made because of Pyongyang's constant violations of the UN Security Council resolutions. "Such a policy represents a serious and unacceptable threat to international security, as well as stability in the region and in the world," reads the statement.. On 7 September, a similar decision was taken by Mexico. This was done as a sign of protest against the North Korean nuclear program. "The program means a frank violation of the norms of international law and poses a serious threat to the countries of Asia and the world," the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
